I work and study. Due To this I cannot attend lectures. You have been of great help. I am very very thankful for u .The notebook theory was difficult for me to understand but your explanation made it a lot easier .May God bless you in every way possible. thanks a ton 😊
Thank you so much. I'm using this philosophy to write my first ever proposal. Your explanations were articulated perfectly. My graditute is off the charts.
the lecturer explained this in class but now i understand more after watching this, especially the first stage- Theological, and its substages (fetishism, polytheism & monotheism).. Thank you very much sir. Much love from South Africa❤️️❤️️❤️️
Quality video.. This was of a higher standard than much of the lecturing here in Ireland, nice to see ideas presented in the vernacular without all the flowery language. Well done on making it easy to watch and accessible !
Luke Wymer Thanks a bunch for the kind words, Luke! I teach history and went a little outside of my comfort zone for this one, but it was rewarding and it seems that Comte is making sense to a lot of people because of it. "Easy to watch" and "accessible" are two of the best compliments a teacher can get!
god thank you! My Socio-Theory teacher told us to read this INCREDIBLY old book about Comte and it was like reading Shakespeare. Thank you for explaining it in a more modern tone that I can actually understand!
I can't believe that this video is 10 years old. It was so good, so interesting, and full of humor that keeps one engaged rather than boring them. Subscribed! dk if this channel is still in use but yeah :'/
Thank you! A lot easier for me to watch and listen than to read in terms that I do not understand. You explained everything well and easy for me to understand.
I liked that you expanded on your explanations and descriptions with relatable subjects. For example, the Newton/Einstien thing really gave me an understanding of the point you were explaining. Wish we had a tutor like that...
This was an excellent overview. It's funny that you're back where you started from stage 1 to stage three. "It doesn't make sense." I'm glad you said this was OK since we lack the inherent sensory equipment to perceive such things as the fabric of space-time. I think most people would like to experience the fabric of space time, I find it a worthy challenge to develop augmentation equipment that would allow us to sense this reality.
God didn't ask Prophet Abraham to sacrifice his son "Just because" "As a joke" "Because He's the most powerful and can do what he wants." It was a test of the loyalty, dedication, obedience, and sincerity of his chosen deputy on earth. Abraham was to prove that He loves God so much, and he's committed to Him so much, that he is willing to sacrifice anything for His sake. Even the thing that he loves most.
It was also a shadow of what would take place when Jssus Christ died for.everyone because it shows that God was willing to give His Son for humanity. Connected to the lamb that he provided for Abraham when he told him not to kill isaac. Then we call Jesus christ the Lamb of God.
I am a student at the University Autonoma de Santo Domingo and this semester I am taking a class of Philosophy that is interesting and complicated at the same time ( LOLLL ) . Before I watched this video I was totally confused about that concept of POSITIVISM , now I can say that I am prepared enough to start a real debate about the subject . Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge with us .
hey,thank you for an interesting lesson! also for telling English on level what somebody from abroad can easly understand. learning gets much harder when you have a language barrier . greetings from Poland!
Really good video but I think that the newtonian example was not good, I think that the only reason why newtonian physics is still taught at school is because the mathematics behind the newtonian phisics are simpler and it is still usefull. (sorry for my english it is not my main languaje)
Not to mention the fact that Newtonian physics is perfectly usable in all but the most unusual circumstances (travelling at a significant fraction of the speed of light for example).
I liked your explanation of the first two stages but really, "physics just doesn't make sense" is literally the opposite of the way science works. Science is about pure logic and reason, physics does make sense because when a theory is put forth, it is based on mathematical reasoning and can then be proved by observation and analysis. This makes sense, this is logic in its purest form. Just because something is beyond the grasp of your comprehension, it does not mean that it does not make sense. It simply requires a broader base of knowledge that you have yet to acquire. Anyone can understand science, that's the whole point, you just have to be committed to learning the basics before you delve into the more complex. No physicist ever learned about relativity before first learning about kinetics and dynamics, and no one ever learned those two before learning arithmetic/geometric math and algebra.

Devonte Coleman My pleasure! Comte was difficult for me to wrap my brain around, so I figured when I finally did, I might as well help some other people get him a little more quickly than I did!
I enjoyed your video, it was very detailed in its analysis. Got me thinking about Abraham, I believe that his faith was attributed to his righteousness, and his righteousness led to him having many descendants. But overall, good video.
This comment helped me increase the synthesis of this topic. Saying that someone had a lot of children because of a series of social constructs such as religion, faith, or righteousness is an example of the theoretical stage. We now know that people have a lot of children because they have a lot of sex which leads to a series of biological processes. Which is the Scientific Stage. As the videos points out, many people still live in the Metaphysical Stage and have not progressed to the Scientific stage... they know they need to complete the biological processes in order to procreate, but still pray to some theoretical entity just in case.
Yes, I like it. I greatly value lack of pretentiousness. Some things simplified or omitted here, but justifiable in showing how Comte viewed things. I don't believe that later scientists actually needed Comte, but this is a good presentation to fix certain key ideas in the mind and begin critical discussion.
monkees4va Thanks for the subscription and the kind words about my videos and my daughter! I'll definitely keep producing educational videos as long as people are watching!
This was decent up until the talk about you're not understanding relativity... not trying to be mean, but you should probably have at least a basic understanding of one of the most important theories ever that has fundamentally changed society, specifically through technology that wouldn't be possible without this theory.
Time only exists as a perception and a measurement which are both based off of the novement of all things. Gravity effects the speed of movement, perception of time is relative because speed and therefore our relation to the measurement of the perpetual movement of all things is effected and altered. Time exists as a perception and measurement but other than that it does not fundamentally exist, what exists is perpetual repetitions of composition and decomposition, perpetual "creation" and destruction on micro and macro levels of all things at all times, and this created the perception of time. "Time is the measurement of all things" ................. Think about this: The earth is moving at a speed of orbit around the sun at about 50,000 mph So if you read this, A second before you read this, You just moved 22,352 meters (13.8 miles) in that one second. It is impossible for a human who stays on earth to ever be in the same place twice
Thanks, Matt Damon!
lol :)
he is john cena...hahaha
lol so true hehe
Jakob Hallberg 😂
Anthroposophie
I can tell people I learned sociology from the love child of Matt Damon and John Cena. Thanks Mr. Richey
Wtf 😂 i cant unsee it now
Identicals☝🏻😄
lmao fr
I was going to say the same thing, the voice also a mixture of both personalities
🤣🤣🤣
After uni lectures and reading it's a relief to see it spelt out so simply! Great way to tie together everything I've learnt. Thank you!
Glad I could help you!!! :D
+Jessica Allsop Yeah. Same for me. And English ain't my native language. In fact it is my fourth language, so the subtitles is a great help.
Hello how are you please reply me I have very important work with you.
how you doing now
And all of the sudden, the nonsens i have in my notebook makes sense. Thank you! 〰
Daaa
😂😂😂😂😂
I work and study. Due To this I cannot attend lectures. You have been of great help. I am very very thankful for u .The notebook theory was difficult for me to understand but your explanation made it a lot easier .May God bless you in every way possible. thanks a ton 😊
Thanks for sharing this with me. It's great to hear how my work is helping people in real ways. May God bless you, as well!
Thank you so much. I'm using this philosophy to write my first ever proposal. Your explanations were articulated perfectly. My graditute is off the charts.
Thanks for sharing that! It's nice to hear such kind words. I hope your proposal is a success. ☕️😃👍🏼
the lecturer explained this in class but now i understand more after watching this, especially the first stage- Theological, and its substages (fetishism, polytheism & monotheism).. Thank you very much sir. Much love from South Africa❤️️❤️️❤️️
Thanks for putting a little humor in these subjects. It makes learning more fun.
Quality video.. This was of a higher standard than much of the lecturing here in Ireland, nice to see ideas presented in the vernacular without all the flowery language. Well done on making it easy to watch and accessible !
Luke Wymer Thanks a bunch for the kind words, Luke! I teach history and went a little outside of my comfort zone for this one, but it was rewarding and it seems that Comte is making sense to a lot of people because of it. "Easy to watch" and "accessible" are two of the best compliments a teacher can get!
Just now learning about this in my sociology class. Thank you for breaking this down the three stages, it really helped me understand it better.
this is 10000 times clearer than any other explanation ive come across - subscribing :)
AWESOME! I had a lot of fun wrapping my brain around Comte. Glad you found this helpful. :D
You made it easier to comprehend. Thank you.
god thank you! My Socio-Theory teacher told us to read this INCREDIBLY old book about Comte and it was like reading Shakespeare. Thank you for explaining it in a more modern tone that I can actually understand!
Are you positive about positive not always meaning positive?
LOL SMH
im sure Eric Cartman would be HIV positive about that statement
No
He's right, Comte's studies have nothing to do with "positive" feelings but everything to do with positive scientific empirical evidence.
I can't believe that this video is 10 years old. It was so good, so interesting, and full of humor that keeps one engaged rather than boring them. Subscribed! dk if this channel is still in use but yeah :'/
You always break it down into understandables. Which makes it easy to assimilate with today-isms. Thanks!!
wokay that scream clearly woke me up! XD
Thanks for the amazing explanation with so much enthusiasm!
I like how you discuss this topic. A rock star/wrestler-academic type of instruction...
Thank you! A lot easier for me to watch and listen than to read in terms that I do not understand. You explained everything well and easy for me to understand.
Thank you! I am doing a presentation of Positivism and this is very helpful.
I believe I have learnt something useful here today concerning your discussion on the topic.Thanks
Thank you for the video you explained it in a simple way I could understand.
I was about to say, "God bless you Tommy" but then positivism be like "Seriously!"
I liked that you expanded on your explanations and descriptions with relatable subjects. For example, the Newton/Einstien thing really gave me an understanding of the point you were explaining. Wish we had a tutor like that...
John Urie Well, thanks to UA-cam, you kind of do! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Will do. I'm studying social sciences so anything to do with that is very useful! Thanks again!
Mr. Richey is so amazing along with his cup. Nice video!
Thank you so much for your very informative discussion. I am a teacher and I used your video to teach my students about the works of Auguste Comte.
Very good explanation. It helps me to understand and focus on the significant points in my reading materials for exams.
Have a nice day Mr. Richey
Glad I could help you! :D
Thank you explaining it in a simple yet such an interesting manner. You are an amazing teacher. Really appreciate your help.
Sir , you're the best and so informative.... you get your points across with full passion, please don't stop uploading ... thank you so much.
Shout out to Tom from Taiwan. I'm really benefitted from your channel!
This was an excellent overview. It's funny that you're back where you started from stage 1 to stage three. "It doesn't make sense." I'm glad you said this was OK since we lack the inherent sensory equipment to perceive such things as the fabric of space-time. I think most people would like to experience the fabric of space time, I find it a worthy challenge to develop augmentation equipment that would allow us to sense this reality.
That would be pretty cool to experience space time!
God didn't ask Prophet Abraham to sacrifice his son "Just because" "As a joke" "Because He's the most powerful and can do what he wants." It was a test of the loyalty, dedication, obedience, and sincerity of his chosen deputy on earth. Abraham was to prove that He loves God so much, and he's committed to Him so much, that he is willing to sacrifice anything for His sake. Even the thing that he loves most.
Clearly he did not read that part or attempt to understand it. Thank you for this comment though for others to know. ❤
It was also a shadow of what would take place when Jssus Christ died for.everyone because it shows that God was willing to give His Son for humanity. Connected to the lamb that he provided for Abraham when he told him not to kill isaac. Then we call Jesus christ the Lamb of God.
Wow!! Thank u so much for breaking down the 3 stages in a very comprehensible manner. This helped me so much in my Sociological theory course.
Glad I could help!
Good video, helped a lot to understand the basis of Comte's way of thinking. Thanks
Glad I could help! 😃
I am looking up Sociologists at this time. Your video inpires me to start a Sociology library and read with my cup of coffee lol
Haha Always glad to pass along my loves of learning and tea!
Sorry, didn't know it was tea. I am a tea lover myself but I ocassionall combine tea and coffee together in a chai tea latte.
Thanks Tom, for this video. Very useful
Absolutely wonderful! Thank you soo much!
Huide Zhu I'm glad it helped! Thanks so much for commenting!

+Michael Choiniere if you add "to me" to "physics just doesn't makes sense", this video just became about logical positivism.
I'm brazillian and i have a test tomorrow so i'm studying lol sorry for the bad english
Thanks for the video ❤

I am here because today I have exam and I haven't study anything bout these three stages so... thanks Mr.
Thank you for helping
Thank you for the clarification!
thanks tom for your explanation..writing legal philosophy on wednesday..u really helped me..u should definatley come to South Africa..
ismet ally I'd love to see South Africa sometime. I'm glad I could help you!
Thank you sir!
Devonte Coleman My pleasure! Comte was difficult for me to wrap my brain around, so I figured when I finally did, I might as well help some other people get him a little more quickly than I did!
love your style!
Was a fantastic LESSON

Even French people watch your video thx you explain better than my uni sociology teacher
Love this so much.
+Tom Richey
could you recommend some literature for reference?
Yes, I like it. I greatly value lack of pretentiousness. Some things simplified or omitted here, but justifiable in showing how Comte viewed things. I don't believe that later scientists actually needed Comte, but this is a good presentation to fix certain key ideas in the mind and begin critical discussion.
dramsaysteele Thanks a bunch! I'm no expert on Comte but saw a need to a good introductory video lecture here on UA-cam.
Thank you very much! This helped me understand this theory much better!
Great help. Thank you.
Scream woke my mind up😂
Este video debería estar con subtitulos al español, es en verdad muy bueno
awesome! thank you!
Isabel Ramirez You're quite welcome!
Great video. Thanks
Succinct and allowed me to grasp the topic really well, plus your daughter is gorgeous! Subscribed and looking forward to more :)
monkees4va Thanks for the subscription and the kind words about my videos and my daughter! I'll definitely keep producing educational videos as long as people are watching!
Very beneficial. Thank you sir!
When I heard your daughter in the background I thought it was my child miraculously home from school.

So you took physics course? Lol
